No, it is not possible to do PhD in Economics after completion of bachelor’s degree. Candidates who want to apply for PhD in Economics must have passed Master’s Degree in Economics with a minimum of 55% marks. They have to appear for a Research Entrance Test and Interview conducted by the university for the admission. Candidates those who have already passed NET or SET or GATE shall be exempted from the Research Entrance Test conducted by the university. The above given is the common admission procedure for PhD in Economics in India. So you have to study MA or M.Sc Economics to pursue PhD in Economics.
